93 skylark

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

First thing I would do is look for vacuum hoses that are disconnected or falling apart and listen for hissing. Vacuum leaks can cause bad idle. You could also spray around gaskets and vacuum lines with TB cleaner. If the idle changes when you spray a specific spot, there's a leak there.

I would also clean the MAF. Using q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol, gently run the tip across the sensor filaments.
